Congrats to our buddies at Stake for making their in-house slots provably fair. Actually pretty based ngl. Really good direction for the industry to be moving in
Stake's original slots are still at about 2-3% house edge, which means players are losing 100s of millions in aggregate compared to what they could be saving on a 0% or even 1% edge slot.
We hope Eddie finds it in his heart to move the house edge in a better direction on Stake too. He's been increasing it recently for the originals, but maybe he can like, stop. We'd be willing to hire him as a blackjack dealer if he needs extra cash
Anyway, you can play Groomer's Van on Duel which is the world's only 100% RTP slot and also provably fair. We are waiting for some competition who can meet us on both fronts... It's getting lonely being the best, but someone's gotta do it

Shuffle's latest original game launched with a 2% edge. Surprise surprise, following in Stake's footsteps and slowly increasing their house edge.
Counterintuitively, the existence of Duel allows smarter casinos to push up their house edge.
Naive casinos with less intelligent owners will have their instant reaction be to reduce their house edge in a scammy way (provide a fake 100% RTP, either with severe withdrawal or wager restrictions, shitty game rules, or just lying about it). We saw these methods with Metawin, BCGame, and Gamdom.
Smarter casinos realize that the smarter players have moved to Duel anyway. Anyone who cares about house edge and value for money is already attracted to the best deal, therefore it's not possible to attract those users by providing a worse deal — the smart user will catch it out and stick to Duel. The only way to poach this class of smart user from Duel is to provide a genuinely better deal, which every casino refuses to do (they don't want to lose millions, or in Stake's case, billions of dollars).
If you know that smart users — users that are paying attention and care about going where they're treated best — have already transferred over to Duel, the GTO solution is to increase the house edge on the remaining player base, because you know for a fact that they are likely to be more edge insensitive and aren't going to go somewhere else to seek out a better deal. If, despite Duel's existence, they're still playing a game with a 10x worse edge, you can assume they are pretty sticky. Therefore, you can bump up the edge and start printing even more profit from them, as you know that it won't result in nearly a proportional reduction in wager volume.
This is a factor into why Stake has started to publish their new originals with a 2% house edge. And Shuffle has started down this road too.
Let's take an example of a Plat IV user on Stake. Expected loss at 2% house edge on the required volume = $50k. Expected loss at 1% house edge = $25k. Expected loss at 0.1% house edge (Duel) = $2.5k. Or if your individual bets are under $1k... 0 edge, so $0 expected loss.
We feel bad for the non-smart players who constantly continue to pay the stupidity tax, and it seems that this tax will only continue to go up in the coming years.

Felix is brazenly accusing me of being behind the midgets Scientology raid (without evidence, obviously). Genuinely insane the depths he will go to to frame me.
Half hearted attempt to link it to me with the camo shirts, but he couldn't resist putting Gamdom branding all over to promote himself since he knew it would go viral. And then to top it all off, he executes it as a Duel false flag, publicly putting the blame on us and naming me, by my legal name, so that we get the heat from Scientology and not him.
Gross stuff overall, glad the gambling community is seeing through it for the most part.

Can confirm that this is indeed us. Legal team is working out the details. Don’t want to say too much until we’re over the finish line, ETA hopefully 24 hours or less. Hoping to free Chud from his shackles very shortly.

I'm proud to have witnessed Monarch's personal growth over the years, and all of it has culminated towards this. At 2:30 pm UTC (in around 30 mins) today, Monarch will be addressing all of you. There is a major announcement — an apology for the past, and plans for things to come.
The address will happen on Duel Blackjack.
We'll post a link here once it starts.
